Hi everybody,
1/A one-time pupil/politician = A former pupil/politician = An ex_pupil/politician =

Are one-time, former, late and ex_ interchangeable? If not, what is the difference btw them?
2/ I think one-time, former, late and ex_ can refer to a person that is either still alive or dead. Right?
3/Only the word former can refer to a person who has changed his name. Right?
